Hey guys,

Recently finished installing a Strange S60 rear end, PST D/S and MWC suspension in my 2002 SS. All ordered through Midwest Chassis.
Here's my options:
-35 Spline S-trac diff
-4.10 gears
-4chl ABS
-1350 Chromoly Pinion Yoke
-1350 billet yoke cap kit
-1/2" x 2" wheel studs
-drain & fill plug
-MWC adj tunnel mount torque arm
-MWC DDX crossmember with driveshaft loop
-MWC double adj heim/heim LCAs
-MWC double adj heim/heim PHB
-PST 3.5" x .120" wall aluminum driveshaft with 1350 U-joints & Sonnax forged yoke

Here's a little vid for an overview of everything on the car, while it was in for an alignment:

Very happy with this setup so far. Haven't been to the track yet, but it drives nice and smooth on the street. Car feels more solid and planted, hooks awesome even with bald DRs. If I've lost power from the 10-bolt, I can't feel it. Also don't notice the extra weight at all. The heim joints do make you feel/hear the road more, but for me it's very acceptable for the street.
I ran the car through 5 or 6 heat cycles of easy driving below 50mph before changing the fluid, and I ended up with a very slight whine above 50mph on coast, so relatively quiet. At least quieter than my 3.90 10-bolt lol.

Midwest Chassis was great to deal with. They got me everything I needed to bolt this right up to my car

Happy to finally be able to run a real tire on the car
I still have a Level 7 TR6060, 31 spine yoke and RPS BC2 I'd like put in the car before I hit the track with the slicks n skinnies. Or if I'm feeling brave, I'll see how the stock T56 and Monster level 2 like the extra traction

Stay tuned for new track results!

Cheers,
Alex

Can't go wrong with MWC. While at the alignment shop did they dial in the pinion angle, thrust angle, and get instant center?

Alignment shop dialed in toe and thrust angle...I set my pinion angle to -2 degrees

Instant Center I can dial in at the track, but I'm starting off with LCAs in the lowest hole and TA in the middle of the pivot link. See how that does.

I'd also like to eventually get a good coilover setup on the car to really dial it in.

Anyone recommend a good street/strip setup?

I hope to be making a similar thread here shortly.

Nice! Not sure if you have in the car already, but you'll enjoy.
I've put about 2000kms and 30 track passes on the setup with new clutch and trans and with 6-7K rpm clutch dumps on slicks, it just takes it!

As you guys can see in my sig, it's allowed me to drop my time about 7/10ths

With the lighter RPS clutch, it traps a little higher than previous best on 10-bolt, so the S60 doesn't seem to rob much power

I am about to start a complete build on my 99 TA. This is the exact rear end set up I will be going with only I will be going with 3.55ish gearing.

I will be giving MWC a call!!!!

This just proves what the right combination of parts can do for you.
